Back-story:
Lionel was born in Elden during a time of prosperity and peace. His father was a well-renowned and honored member of a guild during that time, known for his amazing feats and his skill with the sword. Lionel would often visit his father at the guild hall where he met all the other members who were his father's friends. Lionel became really popular there, always taken care of and taught many things during his stays. Since he was young, his father taught him the ways of the sword; how to wield it properly, when and when not to use it.

One day, when Lionel was but 11 years old, his father had just come back from a certain mission that he chose to keep secret from his family. However, Lionel knew something was wrong. His father had a look of disgust on his face as if he had just smelled something unsavory. As curious as he was, Lionel chose not to delve any deeper. However, it was right after that that his father ended his swordsmanship lessons with Lionel, telling Lionel to study instead and become a scholar. This was something Lionel could not agree with. Fighting was in his blood and there was no one better to learn from than from his father. It wasn't until a little later that Lionel found out the cause of all the irregular behavior.

Lionel's father had been sent on an assassination mission. The leader of a rising rebel faction within the city limits was the target. Their mission was to assassinate him, hoping the rebellion would quell after their leader had gone. However, civilians became involved, and that's where the mission went awry. Lionel's father, during the course of the raging battles, had struck down women and children in order to accomplish the mission. He slaughtered them left and right without a moment's hesitation. It was not until after the dust had settled did he realize what had happened.

Lionel began to understand his father's feelings and emotions. However, this did nothing to stop him from reconsidering his future path. He chose to train in secret, learning from the other swordsman in his father's guild. Slowly but surely, his skill in the sword was exceeding that of his father's. As much as his father had done to keep Lionel from following the path of the sword, Lionel disregarded all of it in order to maintain his family's name and his father's honor. What effect his father's horrible deed had on Lionel is yet to manifest.

The air was still crisp from the morning dew while the sun glared brightly off his golden, plated armor. Lionel walked down what seemed like an endless stone path, heading to somewhere familiar. He had woken up a couple hours earlier, sitting on the ground of his guild hall with his back against the bar counter. Yuri's hanging leg kicked spontaneously, startling Lionel awake. With a pounding headache and no recollection of the happenings of the night before, Lionel had got up and went for a walk outside. It was a tradition of his to walk off his hangovers in solitude.

Lionel glanced up to see that he had reached his guild hall's entrance. While massaging the back of his neck with his right hand, he walked forward to enter the hall when he noticed something move in the corner of his eye. Instinctively, he withdrew his sword, pointing the tip of it at the creature within a blink of an eye. Glänzendes Können, a glorious golden sword that never chipped, never grew dull, shone so brightly that anyone who dared to look at it directly in the sunlight would risk being temporarily blinded. Though as clean as it was, it spoke of many hard battles and many slain enemies. Lionel, almost immediately after withdrawing the sword, lifted it up as he had just startled a stray puppy who had been passing by. The puppy was a dirty blond color with a weathered look on his face. Lionel continued to stare at the puppy's big, watery eyes for a little bit, sheathing his sword slowly. He bent down and reached out his hand, the puppy warily approaching Lionel. Once the puppy realized that Lionel had meant no harm, he showed his affection by licking his hand and face and wagging his tail rapidly.

I wonder if we have any openings in our guild for new members...

Lionel picked up the pup with one hand and swiftly entered the guild hall, lifting the puppy high in the air like a prize hard won. Without even looking to see if anyone was in the hall, he exclaimed,

"Everyone! Meet our newest member, and our guild mascot.....um.....Maximilian!!!"

There goes another two. Well, it's probably better for my luck to run out now, rather than later. Beneath the shifting rays of sunlight breaking into dawn, a golden-haired child stood alone amongst a clearing; just beyond which were the frantically retreating backs of a local gang of bandits. Two smoldering, half-melted swords were set in her hands, the unfortunate victims of one Rhea Bryant overloading lightning magic. She had, in all her infinite wisdom, thought that scaring some group of half-witted thieves away was probably a better idea than personally beating some sense (and also easier to do). The only redeeming aspect of the local gang, as it were, was that they were overly stubborn, weak but surpringly resilient. Or so she had heard.

The plan worked, but even such a carefree kid like Rhea cringed at the prospect of losing another large chunk of her paycheck; so quickly after the last. Hiring an enchanter, or something akin to that, took more in this day and age than it had ever used to; and there was no other way out of it. It was just her luck to pick such destructive magic; to need a high-grade 'staff' to keep up. And even then? They couldn't take the full brunt of lightning. Been going through these swords like water. Anyway, since when have I been considered such an easy target? But then again, one sigh and a shake of the head later, her optimistic attitude came back in stride; and the girl promptly set off in some, as it seemed, random direction. Because, quite frankly, there wasn't anything she could do to cut losses. The only course of action left was to rearm herself as soon as possible. And I was going back to Apotheosis anyway.

Speaking of which, it's been over a month, hasn't it? The last time Rhea went 'home', it was just to replace a set of shortswords. Now, though? It's probably better for me to be there, in case war actually breaks out. In her travels over the past few weeks, the tension between guilds had risen alarmingly high; so much so that this normally indifferent mage was so pressured to make it back. She'd even cancelled all her sight-seeing plans after completing her initial 'caravan guarding' job, to ensure a fast route home amidst the strange, low-crime lapse. Needless to say, the situation was worse than she'd thought. Obviously nobody else thinks an all-out war like this is idiotic.

As it was, her journey had been relatively safe and uninterrupted; besides the little skirmish just the little while ago. With the last leg being from the city doors to her guild-house, no other unfortunate incidents followed in her wake; although entering Apotheosis almost made her plant a palm in her face in exasperation. Because, as she saw with a sigh, the floor was covered from end to end in beer bottles. Again. Did I miss something? Being away from the guild the vast majority of times, Rhea often missed their extravagent celebrations; although she was usually in time for the clean-up. Of course, like now. The whole thought of spending her afternoon helping out Lila through the mess wasn't probably not the best thing to realize, right at the crack of dawn. But then again, she was used to it.

Rhea's mood, however, took a quick turn for the better the moment she pulled her eyes from the floor; to the smell of breakfast and, more importantly, a dog. The moment she caught sight of it's shaggy, although dirty, fur her eyes lit up; and all her stern comments about the mess were --temporarily, mind you-- driven out to make room for a five year old's dream. Of, you know, having a puppy. Eyes now shining, she made her way to Lionel, giving him a large smile and a thumbs-up. Which practically meant something akin to "I forgive you for drinking so damn much", underneath a casual "Good job." while admiring the new guild mascot. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say she was sparkling.

Done with her fill of staring appreciating, Rhea settled to the bar; putting down a small sheet of paper stamped 'Completed' among a stack at the back. Then, after giving a hug and hello to Lila, (and before initiating any kind of converstion with a couple men with hangovers) Rhea systematically set to replacing her swords; going through her room in the process. Only when she was sure that she was well-prepared did she set herself down next to Yuri for breakfast; with a half-menacing smile on her face. He'll surely know why. She poked a single finger to his forehead, a small magic circle appearing as she worked healing a ridiculous headache. "So. What did I have the pleasure of missing?" Because this mess better be worth the explanation. Although carefree, she still had the morals to help the fellow women working for her guild if she needed to. There's little of us as there is.
